When he went out, Zhou Qi had already introduced Qing Leng, and originally thought that his genuine wife would be somewhat jealous, but he didn't expect to quickly become one with Qing Leng.

And that coldness was not cold at all towards Su Ling.

The two walked on the street holding hands, talking and laughing, completely forgetting about Zhou Qi.

At this time, Su Ling turned around and asked.

Zhou Qileng paused, looked at Su Ling with wide eyes, and then looked at Qing Leng.

Can this be said to your face??

The point is that when you listen to it coldly, you don't react at all!

Zhou Qi was a little helpless, didn't answer this embarrassing question, looked at Qing Leng and said, "This shop is in the city, I said you don't have to go back to the village with us, right?" ”

"Nope." Qing Leng directly refused.

"Liu Xiucai asked me to follow you."

Zhou Qihan scratched his head, what does this Liu Sichen mean?

……

Several people quickly walked to the shop set by Liu Sichen, and after the Su family's servant put down the bag of pig hair, he said hello and left.

The shop was originally a cloth shop, and its location was in a more prosperous area of Jinfeng County, and it was separated from the strange goods house.

The display shelves in the main hall are all ready-made, and there is a small courtyard behind it that can be temporarily used as a place to make toothbrushes, and there is an inner room where you can live, and Zhou Qi expressed his satisfaction with this shop.

After that, Zhou Qi took out a ready-made toothbrush and talked to the craftsman about the details, arranged for people to handle the pig hair, and arranged for the two of them to go up the mountain to cut bamboo.

When it came to the style, Zhou Qi thought about it, took the paper and pen in the store, and drew it in a good way.

But it's okay if you want him to write, but he really doesn't have the art cell to paint.

After painting for a long time, everyone couldn't see what it was.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up!

But Su Ling understood what Zhou Qi meant, took the pen, and sketched it on the paper one by one.

Soon, a picture of a toothbrush product engraved with two small fish was presented in front of everyone.

Zhou Qi also explained that in addition to making toothbrushes, craftsmen should also create boxes for toothbrushes.

Four or five craftsmen nodded their heads in response, and none of them dared to ask anything.

These craftsmen have all signed a deed, at this time, a deed is equal to a person's life, and if you make a mistake and kill the government, you will not care, so it is natural to talk less and do more.

It takes at least three days for four or five craftsmen to make nearly 400 toothbrushes.

Zhou Qi was not worried that these craftsmen would steal pig hair, and after explaining everything, he bought some rice, pork, and some bedding, hired a car and went back to the village.

As soon as he returned to the village, before he approached the mud house, Zhou Qi saw many villagers gathered in front of his house.

"Why are there so many people?"

Su Ling also lifted the curtain and looked outside.

When the carriage approached, several people got out of the car, and the villagers immediately saw them.

"The Zhou kid is back, hahaha......"

Then, a group of villagers squeezed over, forming a circle with Zhou Qi as the center, and almost squeezed Na Su Ling and Qing Leng into the ditch......

"Aunts and uncles, what's going on with you?"

Zhou Qi looked dazed, although these villagers were quite friendly after he passed through, and they didn't dislike him much, but it was the first time he had been so enthusiastic.

"Hey, Zhou family boy, the eldest daughter-in-law told us when she came back, you took out two hundred taels of silver to collect her mother's pig hair, we all know about it!"

"Zhou boy, my chicken feathers, can you take it? Just a penny!! ”

One of the villagers pinched a handful of chicken feathers and asked Zhou Qi, and immediately another village woman followed, smiling and grinning.

"And my wild vegetables, you can eat them! Zhou boy, how much do you think you can charge? ”

When Zhou Qi heard this, he immediately muttered in his heart: "This Zhang family, why are you still talking about it?" ……”

At this time, the villagers generally don't think too much, they only think that the pickled pig feathers can be harvested, and the wild vegetables that can be eaten can also be harvested, and the chicken feathers that can be used as dusters can also be collected.

No matter how Zhou Qi developed and why he was able to come up with so much money suddenly, these were not in their consideration.

Anyway, in their hearts, the current Zhou Qi is no longer the poor scholar he used to be, that is the God of Wealth!!

Zhou Qi didn't know how to refuse them for a while, so after thinking about it, he shouted directly: "Uncles and aunts, can I take you to make money?!" ”

The voice immediately spread, and everyone who was originally chattering quieted down at once, waiting for Zhou Qi to continue.

Zhou Qi looked around the crowd, then pulled Uncle Zhou, who lived near him, and asked, "Uncle Zhou, is there a wasteland in our village?" ”

"Yes, there is one, but the grass in that place has grown half as tall! What do you want to do? Uncle Zhou touched his stubble, his face full of doubts.

"Uncles and aunts, in this way, let's build a house in that wasteland first, we don't need to separate the hut, but it must be empty, and the money to build the house will come out, how about you help me build it together?"

As soon as these words came out, some of the villagers were stunned.

"Zhou boy, are you moving?" Uncle Zhou asked.

"No, I'm going to make a factory, do you know the factory?" Zhou Qi tried to explain to them.

"After the house is built, you come and help me make something, and I will pay you every month, is this feasible?"

In fact, he originally wanted to take the villagers with him, this pig hair has to have 400 catties a month, and if you want to make toothbrushes, it will be 4,000 to say the least, and it is far from enough to rely on the craftsmen in the store!

But to add these villagers, it's different!

Make toothbrushes for both men and women, find a craftsman to come and teach, men cut bamboo, women deal with pig hair, and then hand over the finished product to the craftsman to carve the style, the village said less than a hundred people, a set of assembly line to go down, this efficiency is directly raised.

When the villagers heard about the wages, someone soon poked their heads out and asked, "Then how much do you pay?" ”

At first glance, this sounds like this, but at the beginning of spring, there are still seedlings planted in the field, and the farmers have a lot of things to do, and the wages are too small, so they don't do it!

Zhou Qi didn't know how the hired man was calculated now, so he also asked, "How much do you say?" ”

"Eight pennies?"

"Shiwen, otherwise it's better to plant seedlings!"

"If you want me to say, it's twenty wen! Two hundred and two weeks of boys can take it out, what are you afraid of! ”

The crowd immediately discussed, Zhou Qi listened to it in his heart, although the latter words were a little uncomfortable, but he still felt sad inexplicably.

The life of the peasant households is really difficult, the annual tax can crush several families, the imperial court collects taxes twice a year, saying that it is collected according to the proportion of the harvest, but in fact, it is a fixed amount.

Someone once said that as soon as this seedling was planted, it was gone.

There are also many young men who are looking for something to do in the city, but when those merchants see that they are from the village, they send away the monthly money to a few copper plates, so it is better to go home and farm!

Originally, farmers relied on their hands to work, and they should be the most respected people, but because of this world, life is more difficult than anyone else!

Zhou Qi was also very hesitant in his heart about how much salary was appropriate, he would definitely not be able to take it for ten or twenty yuan, but if he gave too much at once, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble, and he would not plant the field and come to work!

And this thing, Zhou Qi doesn't want to see!

Agriculture is the foundation of the people, and it must not be wasted!

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Qicai said: "Fifty copper plates a month, do you think it's okay?" ”
